Where this comes from

Abstract

Academia uses methods and techniques that are cutting edge and constantly evolving, while the underlying cultures and working practices remain rooted in the 19<sup>th</sup>-century model of the independent scientist. Standardization in processes and data standards-delivered via foundational and ongoing training-could ensure a common minimum standard, increase interoperability across the sector, and drive improvements in research quality. But change will require a coordinated approach that recognizes the systems nature of the challenge.
